Uber announced a new car service for bicycle owners. UberBike, which launches today in Amsterdam, allows users to order rides from cars that have installed bike racks.

Uber said that the service is designed for those moments when bike owners either don't want to cycle home, or when their bikes break down on the road. UberBike is priced at the same rate for the company's UberX car service, with an additional ?4 charge.

63 percent of the population in the Dutch city say they use their bikes on a daily basis.

Earlier this year, Ubder launched a motorbike service in Bangkok, where many commuters use motorbikes to navigate the city's traffic jams.
